Modal's LLM Engine Advisor picks engine, model and config for your inference workload
charles_irl · x · 2026-10-09
Charles Irland updated the LLM Engine Advisor with fresh Modal Dedicated Endpoints benchmarks. Set constraints — model quality floor (Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index), cached/uncached token mix, TTFT target, and whether to optimize cost per token, TTFT or TTLT — and it filters benchmarked configurations, ranks them, and emits a CLI command to launch. Price is estimated from GPU-hour list price divided by measured total token throughput.
